We believe that:

God

1. There is only one God, with unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the Sovereign Godhead.


2. God the Father is Almighty, Creator and Sustainer of Heaven and Earth and all things visible and invisible therein.


3. Jesus Christ is God's only Son, in one nature both perfect in His humanity yet gloriously divine, and is therefore the only mediator between God and mankind.


4. The Holy Spirit of God comforts, convicts and convinces mankind of sin, righteousness and judgement. He indwells and sanctifies the lives of all believers individually and corporately. He gives His gifts to those who believe and makes effective service, worship and witness possible.

Salvation

1. All people are sinful by nature and are thus separated from God and subject to His judgement and wrath. Mankind is thus in need of repentance and reconciliation.


2. Justification of the sinner is solely by the grace of God, received through faith in Christ crucified and risen from the dead. A public confession of faith will normally follow by means of a baptism by total immersion in water.


3. There will be the personal, visible return of the Lord Jesus Christ to judge all people.


4. The certainty of eternal life continuing after death is God's gift to all who are in Christ.

Scripture

1. The Holy Scripture, as found in the Old and New Testaments, is completely trustworthy and is the divinely-inspired Word of God.


2. The Holy Scriptures, being the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ, are the sole and final authority in all matters pertaining to faith and practice.

The church

1. The Church is the Body of Christ of which He is the Head. It consists of all those who have faith in Christ as Lord through the ages and throughout the world.


2. It is seen in the local assembly of believers, called by God to be His servants.


3. The priesthood is of all believers, individually gifted through the Holy Spirit to minister for the glory of God and the good of the church and to promote the advance of God's Kingdom on earth, through personal witness and evangelism.
